Parenting Therapists in Lexington, SC
Life is often hard, no matter who you are. The story of our lives are filled with moments and seasons of challenge, change, and confusion. Life is filled with many deeply transformative experiences, for both good and bad. Thus, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Especially if we feel like there are few people who can offer meaningful help. Fortunately, life also offers significant positive growth and healing opportunities. These opportunities can create a pathway, orienting us toward the direction we want to go. That's when we begin to better position ourselves to experience the outcomes in life we hope to achieve.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly this world can beat us down. It seems that we take just one step forward, and life knocks us two steps backward. Life is hard enough as an individual, but when you add a relationship it gets down right messy. People disagree, argue, and inevitably hurt each other. Unfortunately we were created to be social beings. We were made to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. The circumstances of our lives can lead us to feel insecure, or unimportant. It's the lies we choose to believe that inevitably grow the problems that we experience. You can choose to think differently. I can help.

Let’s be honest – being in a long-term relationship is HARD! Do you often feel misunderstood in your relationship? Do you desire more connection with your partner? Have you been hurt and feel your relationship is in crisis?
I understand how being in a relationship can cause you to feel personally challenged, deeply hurt, and maybe question if there is something better out there. Often, the couples I work with have been unhappy for years and they feel hopeless or stuck. I provide a safe environment in which to explore and understand your relationship, repair past hurt, and develop new skills for deeper connection.

As a counselor, coach, and teacher I have always had a focus on making interventions for positive change for adults, families, and children. In my experience key elements can be provided to promote quality life skills. In some instances the client may have issues regarding traumatic events, depression, anxiety, grief, lack of self-esteem/confidence, addictions, decision making skills, and finally abuse of a physical and emotional nature. Therapy can provide aspirations and tools that can promote positive change along with resilience for maintaining a good quality of life.

If you're a parent feeling stuck, a teen feeling overwhelmed, or a young adult trying to figure out who you are and where you're going, you're not alone.
If you're sensitive, creative, anxious, or just tired of pretending you're ‘fine’ when you're not- I see you.
Therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ you, it’s about giving you a space to feel heard, seen, and supported. We might talk, draw, vent, laugh, or even cry. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to show up.

You have been doing your best to keep everything together, but lately it feels like life is holding you by the collar. Anxiety, stress, and old habits creep in no matter how many times you tell yourself to “just push through.” You might be carrying trauma that never really got resolved, or finding that the ways you’ve coped with pain in the past don’t work anymore. You want relief—something steadier than quick fixes—and you’re ready to start making real, lasting changes.

Evil Plan Productions is a DBT practice, built on Marsha Linehan's model. We work with young people ages 12-25 and their families. Usually, by the time a family finds us, the story is long and painful. Your child isn't broken. They need help to do something different when everything feels like too much. If you're done waiting and ready to take action, you're in the right place.
DBT works. The research is clear, especially for adolescents who are self-harming or suicidal.
